The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

In the cabin of the Flying Boat, Li Muyang, who had been forced out of the game, opened his eyes.

"Did I just die so abruptly?"

Li Muyang was somewhat astonished.

He had been using the Eye of Spiritual Sight continuously in the game, so when that sinister shadow approached the Glass Immortal Maiden, Li Muyang sensed the danger and opened his eyes in time.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

To his surprise, the shadow was merely a decoy, the real lethal strike was behind him.

"This monster can even coordinate attacks? That's a bit over the top."

Li Muyang loaded his saved game and re-entered the game.

It was still the campfire under the night sky, where the Glass Immortal Maiden stood at the edge of the cliff, gazing at the mountains under the night.

The misty water vapor swirled around her, with the fairy entering a meditative state, continuing her cultivation.

Yet from the edge of the firelight, the shadow silently approached the Glass Immortal Maiden.

Meanwhile, Li Muyang, sitting by the fire, pretended as if nothing was happening.

Not until a chill touched his body did Li Muyang activate his time-stopping skill.

"ZAWARUDO!"

After time fell into a standstill, Li Muyang immediately leaped up and turned to look behind him.

Behind him, the darkness seemed to split open, revealing a fissure from which numerous ghastly white hands stretched out, attempting to drag Li Muyang into the darkness.

Li Muyang quickly estimated there were at least dozens of these ghostly hands.

—Is this thing related to the Nine-Armed Bodhisattva?

Why so many hands?

Li Muyang immediately summoned the Laws Eradicating Wheel, releasing a dazzling blue light that slashed towards those ghostly hands.

However, the moment the time stop ceased, those ghastly hands also vanished into the dark fissure.

Li Muyang's Laws Eradicating Wheel managed to sever only three arms.

And as these three arms fell to the ground, they immediately decomposed into foul-smelling pus and melted into the soil.

The commotion by the fire awakened the Glass Immortal Maiden, who immediately turned around and looked at Li Muyang.

Just in time to see Li Muyang cutting off the ghostly hands, the dark fissure disappearing.

The Glass Immortal Maiden furrowed her brows, "Another evil spirit attacks?"

Why are there so many evil spirits in the forests of Li Jiang County?

Li Muyang, looking toward the distant stronghold, sighed, "It might not be that evil spirits are attacking us, but rather that we've inadvertently wandered into their lair."

Without any aversion to the filth, Li Muyang picked up an iron bracelet from the dirty blood on the ground.

The bracelet was engraved with ancient characters, albeit crudely made.

Li Muyang clearly remembered, it was worn on the arm of someone from Purple Immortal Stronghold they met in the afternoon.

During the day, that man from the Purple Immortal Stronghold had greeted Li Muyang and the others with a cheerful demeanor.

The Glass Immortal Maiden also recognized the iron bracelet, her expression changing slightly.

"Is it... Purple Immortal Stronghold?"

She sharply turned her gaze towards the direction of the Purple Immortal Stronghold in the forest. Under the moonlight, the stronghold appeared sporadically visible among the trees, eerily silent.

The entire stronghold was without any lights, completely blending into the night.

Yet for some reason, as they looked at this tribal village under the night sky, an inexplicably chilling coldness surfaced.

"We must find out the source of this!"

The Glass Immortal Maiden's expression became serious, "Evil disturbances are a serious matter. If there are truly evil spirits resurrecting in the mountains, we must report this to the Heavenly Monitoring Bureau and request the Demon Suppression Magus to take action!"

Although she had reservations about the blunt methods used by the Heavenly Monitoring Bureau to suppress demons and eradicate evil, the Glass Immortal Maiden still acknowledged the capabilities of the Demon Suppression Magus.

In expelling evil spirits and suppressing demons, the Demon Suppression Magus of the Heavenly Monitoring Bureau were the best in the world.

Only they could thoroughly exterminate the disruptive evil spirits, leaving no trace of trouble behind.

With a solemn expression, the Glass Immortal Maiden quickly headed towards the direction of the Purple Immortal Stronghold.

Li Muyang followed closely behind her, and the two once again arrived at the gates of Purple Immortal Stronghold.

However, under the moonlight, Purple Immortal Stronghold had become quite different from the warm and friendly barbarian village of the day.

In the eerily silent stronghold drifted a chilling aura, discomforting to the living.

As Li Muyang and Glass Immortal Maiden entered the gates of Purple Immortal Stronghold, they saw several dogs with blood-red eyes crouching by the roadside, fiercely tearing at something.

The friendly yellow dogs that had played with the children during the day now looked ferocious and intimidating.

By the cold moonlight, one could see they were frantically gnawing at several frail barbarian children.

The children's mouths were agape, and their bodies trembling, as though they were laughing joyously, yet no sound came out.

The fierce dogs crazily chewed on the children's bodies, tearing the flesh from their bodies, yet the children seemed unaware of the pain.

In the deeper parts of the village, shadows lurked, roaming with eerie black figures.

All of them emitted a bone-chilling coldness, and their stiff walking posture was definitely not that of the living.

Glass Immortal Maiden's gaze turned extremely cold.

"...The entirety of Purple Immortal Stronghold has fallen to evil!"

She immediately turned to Li Muyang and said, "Nameless, we must leave immediately, descend the mountain to seek the authorities, and report these anomalies!"

"Once the evil beings revive and grow in power, they must be destroyed at once!"

Glass Immortal Maiden suggested they retreat.

Li Muyang narrowed his eyes, gazing towards the distant mountaintop.

There, one could vaguely see an elder smiling under the moonlight, overlooking everything in the village.

Within the field of view, the system's mission objective remained unchanged.

[Main Quest: Inquire the old Priest to obtain clues about the disappearance of General Zhong's undefeated army.]

"...Go ahead first, Immortal Maiden, I'll cover for you," Li Muyang said.

He squinted at the village in front of him, ready to try his luck alone.

This Purple Immortal Stronghold was obviously an important checkpoint.

One must pass through this stronghold to obtain subsequent, key clues.

Upon hearing his words, Glass Immortal Maiden was utterly shocked.

"Nameless Lord, you..."

Before Chu Qingxue could finish, Li Muyang had already dashed forward, turning into a blur toward the vicious dogs.

The Startling Swan Sword Technique, powered by the Eradicating Law Wheel, emitted a brilliant blue light, and in a blink of an eye, it had directly slain five of the roadside dogs.

However, after the dogs were killed, a horrific scene unfolded.

The children that had been mauled and torn apart by the dogs, upon no longer being subdued by them, suddenly opened their mouths and let out piercing laughter.

Shortly after, all the children's flesh swelled and exploded.

In the blink of an eye, six flesh orbs rose within the stronghold, catching Li Muyang completely off guard.

[You have died, game over]

"...Damn it!"

Inside the cabin of the Flying Boat, Li Muyang opened his eyes exasperated.

He had suspected something was off with these dead children from the start, hence he attacked them while also taking down the vicious dogs.

But he hadn't expected that the rapid swelling and enlargement of the children would catalyze their explosion when Li Muyang attacked them.

As the six possessed children burst open, Li Muyang was instantly engulfed in the explosion, dying cleanly.

"Again!"

The defeated Li Muyang re-entered the game.

He was amusingly infuriated by the evil beings' methods of killing.

These evil beings, although not highly skilled, had quite innovative methods of murder!
